We're doing fine but you still want more
You keep picking at the Persian flaw
The wallpaper's peeling
A bulge in the ceiling
Tilting in the wrong direction
This damp spot is spreading
it's doing my head in

What lights the way now
What lights the way

The love that we found
burns to the ground
What happens now?

It's no fun being safe and sane.
You want to run away from the mundane

A fist strikes the hourglass
There's less future than past
Peering over life's escarpment
The grind's got you tied up
The date nights have dried up

What lights the way now
What lights the way

The love that we found
burns to the ground
What happens now
We're on the way down

Get on the road and drive
All the way all the way away
You'll have to face this anyway

What lights the way
What lights the way now"
